About this home

Step back in time and into timeless craftsmanship in this early-1900s Tudor / French Normandy–style Craftsman, nestled in one of San Diego’s most coveted neighborhoods. Rich with character and architectural integrity, the home showcases original gumwood paneling throughout, a feature nearly impossible to replicate today and a true testament to the artistry of a bygone era. (SEE SUPPLEMENT) Facing west, the property enjoys peek views of Downtown San Diego and the harbor, with golden afternoon light that enhances the warmth and texture of the home’s historic details. This is a residence that invites restoration—an opportunity to thoughtfully revive a classic to its original glory while honoring its authentic design. An attached casita adds exceptional flexibility, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or creative use, further enhancing the property’s long-term value and versatility. Beyond its charm, this property offers extraordinary upside. The lot is zoned RM-3-7 under Complete Communities Tier 2, allowing for significant density and presenting a rare redevelopment or apartment opportunity in a supply-constrained, high-demand urban location. Centrally located just south of Laurel Street, this home sits moments from Balboa Park, Downtown, the waterfront, dining, and cultural destinations—yet remains tucked within the historic elegance that defines Banker’s Hill. Whether you are a preservation-minded homeowner, a multi-generational buyer, or a forward-thinking developer, this is a once-in-a-generation offering—where history, views, and future potential converge.
